It was about 5 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the football rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Birchills and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in West Midlands done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Midlands we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in West Midlands for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Birchills (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They will handle the most common issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
